wow! unlucky? i've returned items bought online and in the store maybe 3-times in the last couple of years and an additional once or twice for an exchange.
May be true RK. It may be just me and the OP but i really doubt that. I do buy a lot of stuff so the chances of me encountering a larger percentage of junk is definitely there. Offshore manufacturing seems to be all about making it "look" like something you want, need, and/or will buy but when you get your hands on it you see a different picture many times... screwdrivers that strip with first use, hammers that chip metal shrapnel when used to hammer, and RV sewer drain connectors incompatible with the industry standard established many decades ago (without a hand file that is).
I still buy imported stuff of course, but its a real mess we have.
